So I was diagnosed with post partum depression about a year ago, and ever sense, have been petrifed of getting schizophrenia (my aunt has it.)
I constantly over analyze my behavior, and check to make sure I am not "losing it." One of the reasons I am scared, is because about five years ago, I used to drink and occasionally smoke weed. I had an issue one night where I smoked with some trusted friends, and ended up having a terrible, terrible reaction. My parents were convinced the weed had been laced with something, but after thinking on it and looking back, I think my body just reacted harshly-because nobody else reacted to the weed, and had it been laced, I'm sure everyone else would have responded in the same manner that I did. Anyway, the reason that event is relevant is because after that, I had a problem with trusting those who were close to me. Someone could bring me a bottle of water, and in the back of my mind I was like "what if they slipped something in that?" I became terrified of how my body would react to certain side effects in medicines, etc. I knew, logically, that they would never do anything to me-what on earth would lead them to do that? But it was always an initial reaction. I still have it occasionally to this day, but it's not as bad as I still know that, logically, nobody would ever so that to me. But even the slight bit of paranoia I've had for five years worries me to to death. My mind keeps screaming at me that it isn't normal to be like that, and that something is wrong with me. I've talked it over with friends and family and they've all reassured me that it's "normal" to have those kind of thoughts because of what i experienced, but it still worries me. Is it likely that I have schizophrenia or that I will develop it?

Pot can enhance Schizophrenia. Best not to smoke it, if you do not want to feel Schizophrenic.

ktreakle10, I think I answered your other post...? Anyway, what I commented was that it doesn't sound like you have schizophrenia, it's sounds more like anxiety and quite possibly depression.
